  the godard experience
Godard wrote a gossip column for the journal, but also spent much time writing scenarios for films and a body of critical writings which placed him firmly in the forefront of the 'nouvelle vague' aesthetic, precursing the French New Wave.
Later in that year, Godard was furious over the firing of Henri Langlois as the head of the French 'Cinémathèque' and he left the group with Jean-Pierre Gorin to form the 'Dziga-Vertov' group.
Godard became increasingly concerned with socialist solutions to an idealist cinema, especially in providing the proletariat with the means of production and distribution.

 Film | 'Cinema is over'
Godard describes first watching the Hungarian team, which revolutionised world football, as being "a discovery, like modern painting." Most of the Hungarian players, he points out, were from Honved, the "club of the army".
Godard uses a quote from the 18th-century philosopher Baron de Montesquieu to contextualise the images: "After the great flood, men came out of the earth and started exterminating each other." Alongside the battle scenes, there are shots of penguins and monkeys.
Godard may be a famous name, but he seems resigned to the fact that his films are not now widely seen and rarely make much impact at the box-office.

 Northwest Film Forum: A History of Jean-Luc Godard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Godard parlayed the success of BREATHLESS into a career of hugely innovative, corrosively brilliant films that introduced a kind of poetry to the cinema unlike anything that came before it.
Godard employs the full visual (and sonic) possibilities of video to create a ravishingly beautiful collage of images and ideas in the most sophisticated work he's yet created.
Godard's absurdist vision of the apocalypse in which there is no love, peace or art - only greed, death and a sense of destruction that spirals into cannibalism.

Godard’s new First Commandment to Godard is: "Thou shalt not make any more bourgeois movies for bourgeois producers." From now on, there will be nothing but revolutionary movies made in revolutionary situations with revolutionary performers for revolutionary audiences.
Godard has been greatly influenced by this young no-nonsense rebel and, in fact, refuses to be photographed without him at his side.
Godard is not about to give any prizes to Raoul Coutard, his former cameraman, for his directorial debut.

 Jean-Luc Godard
My Life to Live is a highly stylized and extraordinarily unformulaic adaptation of a simple premise: a young woman, seeking the freedom and excitement of, what Federico Fellini calls La Dolce Vita, leaves her family to pursue an acting career, only to turn to a life of prostitution.
Godard's futuristic vision is presented through an odd synthesis of gangster noir, romantic melodrama, and pop culture, resulting in a subtly humorous, accessible, and highly original film.
Godard's compositions of impersonal structures and desolate cityscapes - an undoubted influence on the cinema of Chantal Akerman - serve as a visual abstraction of urbanization and cultural flux that inherently reflect Godard's deconstruction of images (or pre-defined filmic cues) in order to convey the syntactical difference between an object's meaning and its significance.

 BFI | Features | Jean-Luc Godard | About Godard
Jean-Luc Godard was born into a wealthy Swiss family in France in 1930.
Godard's obsession with cinema beyond all else led to alienation from his family who cut off his allowance.
Godard's reputation for being a bitter and reclusive figure clearly does not go unnoticed, but is not observed without humour, as a recent anecdote in the New Yorker illustrates.

Godard is probably the most influential of the French New Wave directors.
His highly personal films are marked by a freewheeling approach to style, content, and story structure, and he initiated techniques that broke with traditional film narrative.
Increasingly interested in Marxist and Maoist philosophies of communism, for a period Godard subsumed his identity into that of a filmmaking collective.

 Jean-Luc Godard
Jean-Luc Godard has constantly walked a tightrope between the depiction of his basest desires and the expression of an inner urging to seek a higher, more spiritual road.
Doubting, fearing, sensing impending doom, Godard lives in a fragmented world devoid of true understanding of the world around him, and his films accurately reflect this state of spiritual fragmentation and incompleteness.
Indeed, it can be argued that Godard has yet to make a "film", and that he is actually continuously in the act of making a film and that his resultant films serve to document this ongoing process.

 Nostalgia for the Present: The Godard Renaissance Continued
Godard's struggle to capture such images of immediacy on 35mm proves his passion for the cinematic image had not diminished after his video experiments of the 1970s.
Nostalgia becomes a central conceit in Godard's cinema at this point, a concern also seen in the rest of the art world around this time: the interest in Jean Baudrillard and his ideas on the simulacrum, the rise of postmodernism as a critical idea, the fading of the romantic notion of the artist as creator.
Godard's particular brand of nostalgia is not only for the “new” aspect of the New Wave, but also for that ability to start again, no matter the pretence (Maoism not withstanding).

 Jean-Luc Godard
For Godard, the forums of Cahiers and Arts allowed the fleshing out of a conception of the cinema that was closer to an all-encompassing poetic rumination than the linear Cartesian logic and self-effaced objectivity that the majority of film criticism tends to require.
Godard says: “Producing films at this moment means nothing else than: studying the changes undergone by the cinema from Lumière and Eisenstein to the present, and studying them in practice; that is to say, by making films about the world of today.
Godard proposes that moments of history categorizable by the latter must be committed to memory and their perpetrators in effect indicted; as Don DeLillo might remark, there is a power in this, the calling by name or citation by image of the figures behind historical atrocity, or even of atrocity itself.

 The Films of Jean-Luc Godard
Godard has established a reputation as a rebel who can work within and outside the system, producing films that are creative, breathtakingly beautiful, and yet commercial enough to earn back their production costs.
Godard's unique position is as futurist archivist, anticipating how present society's incipient ruins will be read.
By performing an anatomy on the corpus of Godardian cinema, Dixon discovers not only that Godard has pronounced the death of cinema in his own films but also that the cinematic genre, medium and discipline might well be dead.

 Godard: Breathless
First, Godard was extremely aware of his medium’s connection to other modes of expression, especially literature, philosophy and painting; and his style included a conscious attempt to demonstrate this interconnectedness.
Godard was the "first to play disrespectfully, because offhandedly, with art." In another scene, Michel and Patricia kiss in a movie theater while Westbound is playing in the background.
Godard felt the orthodox rules that stemmed from this ideal had begun to limit the possibilities of the medium.

The first part of Godard's film, lushly shot in fl-and-white, deals with Edgar's attempts to mount a production – he does not know whether it will be a novel, a play, or a film – about the four ages of love.
Regarding children, adolescents (a remarkably concise rehearsal scene seems to sum up the "impossible love" between Godard the artist and Karina his ideal that suffuses the director's '60s-work), and old couples, he is clear on his concept – you are either in love or you are not.
Commentators who insist that the political arguments in Godard don't hold water merely miss the point: Godard's has always been a cinema of idealists – the children of Don Quixote – and his protagonists remain today, as always, doggedly romantic revolutionaries.

A violist and pupil of Vieuxtemps, the French composer Benjamin Godard won a precociously early reputation as a composer of salon music, with a series of pieces that would once have found a ready place in any album of piano music.

But if Godard does for film what Joyce did for the novel—ushering in the modernist era of self-conscious experimentation, form and language for their own sake, and radical revisions of their respective traditions—it is as a gnomic, inspired mis-matchmaker.
Godard, Truffaut, and Rivette not only celebrated the auteur in theory, they turned their ideas into directorial praxis: the toad of criticism elevated into art, the moment of art inflected with its own critique.
Unacknowledged, however, is the new archetype Godard represents, where the classic identification with the movie hero has been raptly displaced onto the director himself.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Godard
Having entered the Abbey of Altaich, his learning and sanctity speedily procured his elevation to the dignity of prior, and afterwards that of abbot, in the discharge of which sacred duties Godard went far towards enforcing rigorous observance of rule among those placed under his care.
On the death of St. Bernard, Bishop of Hildesheim (1021), Godard was chosen to succeed him; but his modesty yielded only to the urgent admonitions of Emperor St. Henry II.
In 1132, the year following his canonization and the translation of his relics, the erection of a Benedictine monastery under the patronage of St. Godard, was begun, and two altars were dedicated to him in the cathedral church.
